The City of Carlsbad offers its residents a way to dispose of unwanted bulky items such as furniture (couch, chair, dresser, cabinet, bookshelf, mattress) or appliances (toilet, washer, stove, sink).
- Carlsbad residents may dispose of two large bulky household items at no charge on five predetermined dates annually.
